⭐️ WISH WEDNESDAY ⭐️

Meet Frank, an 11-year-old from Rancho Cucamonga who loves discovering the world around him. Living with a neuromuscular disorder, Frank finds joy in learning about gemstones, fossils, and the wonders of nature, so when it came time to choose his wish, Frank knew exactly what he wanted: an adventure at the Grand Canyon. 🥾

Frank and his family set out to explore caves, visit animals, hike, and discover fossil exhibits. He even picked out special gemstone souvenirs to remember the incredible memories he made with his family.

They call wish kid Anthony the “mayor” of his school – because everyone knows him. So, when it came time to choose his wish, he wanted to give an accessible playground to his school for the blind. When it opened, his first words were simple: “Let’s play.” 💙

“Watching the kids from kindergarten through high school enjoy the playground is more than worth it. These kids deserve the world, happiness and joy, and I can’t wait for all the memories they are going to make on this playground. All the kids asked, are we going to come back tomorrow?” – Cierra, Anthony’s mom

Now, students of all abilities have a place to play, connect and just be kids together. And Anthony’s wish will continue to bring joy to classmates for years to come.
